Him sat on his couch watching the villains and heroes, he switched to the Powerpuff girls, blossom was with her kid as were the others, he wiped a claw down his face, he said," Oh boy I have messed up big time, I promised her no harm would come to her or her family. But I still attacked them." A voice called out and said," No it was I who attacked them, we merely share the same body remember?"
Him nodded his head and said." Yes I remember far too easily, but being trapped in the mind as you prance around attacking them breaking the bonds in which I shared years ago, that was the wrong move!" The being said," I am Him, and you are Him, we are both the same person when will you except that!"
Him shook his head and said," Not until you have your own body and I can live my life, you took my trust and turned it on me, if anything happens to this body you can easily leave but I'm stuck with it, so I decided I want you to go get a new body!" The being shouted angrily," really and what authority do you have over me!"
Him glared at himself in the mirror to his right, he said," Because it's my body and I'm just allowing you, now leave!" The being shouts," I will not, this is my body now so deal with it!" Him held his head as the being infiltrated his mind again trying to take over, he shouts," What are you doing!" The being laughed and said," What is needed now get some rest I'm borrowing your body and finishing what I started, that girls blood will be mine!"
Buttercup washed the remaining blood from her daughter's mouth, she was sleeping but even in her sleep the pain still hurt, the slash on her face was no longer bleeding but her arm was still scorched and almost charred black. Buttercup held back the tears she held, suddenly the door was thrust opened, Ace ran inside and said," Where is she?" Buttercup gestured for him to come over, Ace walked over but still had a hard time believing what he saw.
Through clenched teeth he said," That Him is going to pay for this oh yah I can see it now!" Buttercup nodded her head and said," yes he will, but for now jade needs her rest, lets come back in a little while and check on her okay?" Ace nodded his head and walked out with buttercup turning back to his daughter, he said," We will get Him I promise you!"
He shut the door and the room fell to silence, after about ten minutes, Jade slowly opened her eyes, she tried to push herself up, but her scorched arm caved in under the weight and wouldn't support her, she started breathing heavily and just sat there, she looked out of her window and could see that it was night time, normally she would have snuck out and visited her cousin, but that wasn't the case for today.
A figure loomed over her it's dark shadow casted against the wall, at first she wanted to believe there was nothing there but then she heard it," So little girl, how does the burn feel, is it getting better?" She turned her head and sure enough Him was standing there his smile drawn back, she glared at Him, but he just waved his claw and said," tsk, tsk you should not be so rude to your elders I only came to finish what I started!"
His smile grew larger as she backed away standing up, he came a bit closer but the energy ball formed again, he backed away remembering it from before, in a flash he moved forward and slammed his claw against her head, she fell backwards and hit the ground, Him slowly approached her figure, she tried to move but her body was irresponsive, she closed her eyes fearing what he would do next.
He suddenly screeched out in pain, she looked at Him, he was holding his head, he said," No, you won't ruin my promise any longer!" A different voice spoke and said," This is my body now, you have no control over what I do!" Him shouted," I have all the control you idiot, you are just an outsider who I decided to help but now I no longer wish your presence!"
His voice boomed through the house, Buttercup and Ace both raced towards their daughters room fearing the worst, ace threw open the door and they ran inside, Him was against the wall of the room rolling against it he shouted," You cannot use my body for your own gain!" The other voice said aloud,"Ah, but you have no control over me, that girl will parish before you can stop me!" Him was able to open his eyes, noticing Ace he shouted," Ace what the hell are you waiting for, I can't hold back forever just hit me already!"
Ace reared back and picked up his metal bat, with all of his strength his sent it straight to Him's head, Him flew back and crashed through the wall, blood dripped from the opening in his head, he was still alive but he was unconscious. Ace threw the bat down and said," what was all that about?" He quickly ran over to his daughter and asked," Sweetie you alright, did he hurt you?"
She shook her head and responded," No, but he was yelling at himself about a promise being broken or something, and then his voice totally changed as he responded to himself, maybe his is mental?" Buttercup laughed and said," Believe me, we would all love it if he was just mental, but he is a whole other level sweetie."
Him now conscious noticing they were distracted, he said to himself," You see what you dragged me into, I am done with you!" Energy swirled around Him as he used all of his energy to cast him out, Ace and Buttercup noticed his waves of energy as they surged from his body, a bright red light flashed as he shook, all of his energy soon disappeared, a black cloud of smoke flew out of him, it disappeared in a few minutes after departure of Him's body.
Him fell down to his knees as he gasped for air, finally he fell face first and hit the ground. Ace approached Him's unconscious body, he inched closer until he was right in front of him, ace slowly picked Him up and dragged him away, Buttercup asked," what are you going to do?" Ace stopped and stood up he said," I'm going to drag him to the living room and then figure out what the hell was going on and why he wanted me to strike him."
Buttercup and Ace picked up Him's body and moved him to the living room, they waited for some time before he finally woke up, his eyes drifted slowly but he regained most of what happened, as soon as he was awake Ace asked," Alright Him, what was all of that about, you know with you fighting yourself?" Him scratched his chin for a while and said," Well the funny thing is, when the new generation of Powerpuff girls were born, so was another…." Buttercup squinted her eyes and said," What do you mean something else was created?" Him smiled and said," well when you were created my form was finally able to stabilize, I had been defeated years back but when you were born it was able to stabilize my body, well since there was no other being and you hadn't defeated me, the time waves had to create and entity for the new generation to fight."
Ace scratched his head and said," So what you're saying is that when my Buttercup and her sisters were created the time line made you stabilize, and since you were never actually defeated the timeline had to create a new villain for out Jade, and sapphire and Ruby." Him nodded his head surprised with Ace, he continued," You see the new being had lacked a body so my body was the right choice for a body-less creature, but since then his mind had grown attached to my body, so that leaves only one thing that he can do…" Buttercup realized where he was going," A second Him!"
Him smiled and nodded, he replied," Now you may want to tell your sisters, no telling how long until he is able to build the body, I'm guessing around fifteen or so souls!" Ace and Buttercup blinked at each other, he quickly read their thoughts and said," Yes it requires souls to make a body like this, how do you think I stay this good looking!"
Buttercup sighed and said," Well at least your back to your old self, in fact, I don't think you even changed in all these years, you look exactly the same!" Him smiled and said," One of the best perks about being immortal, you never really outgrow it get it, because you can't outgrow forever!" Ace slapped himself in the face, he said," You sound just like snake, always with your terrible puns, but his are usual creepier then that."
A knock on the door startled Buttercup and Ace, Him seemed totally un interested, buttercup stood up and walked towards the door, she slowly opened it, her sister smiled in her face her little girl by her side, Him could see them before they could, he remembered what the one being did and slowly backed away into a room, Ace asked him," what are you doing?"
Him sighed and said," That being when he controlled me to do some of those bad things also made me do other bad things besides hurt them physically." Axe rolled his eyes and said," alright hide until we call." Him did as instructed, usually he wouldn't worry about them seeing them, but since he was not responsible mentally for what happened he didn't want to take the full blame.
Buttercup tried her best to explain the situation to her sister and her daughter, she explained about what happened only a little while ago to what him told them about the timeline. Blossom was tapping her fingers against the table and said," How do you know he was telling the truth Buttercup?" Buttercup responded," it was his eyes Blossom, not to mention that Him being who he is, has never told a lie but simply the cruel facts."
Blossom sighed but knew that she was right, she asked," Alright were Is Him, I want to talk to him?" Ace said," Alright Him situation kind of clear!" The door slowly opened, Him stepped out, his eyes were not glaring or vicious they were sorrowful, he mouth was a sad frown as he slowly walked over and sat down, he looked at Blossom who was still glaring and looked back down.
Blossom breathed in and out and asked," Alright Him, you say that you didn't do that disturbing thing that we all saw you do to my daughter, care to explain that?" Him just shook his head and sighed, he said," I told you my mind constantly switches between mine and the other beings, he was in control at that moment, just like when he attacked Jade, I could barely stop him so I had to get rid of him."
Blossom shook her head and said," Do you have any proof of this guy existence?" Him raised his claw he was going to say something when Blossom's cell rang, she answered it, Bubbles screamed," Blossom where are you? We need to find you guys, I think Him tried to attack Sapphire!" Blossom shouts," uh head over to Buttercup's quickly!"
After about half an hour, There was a tiny knock at the door, Bubbles rushed in and shut the door, she says," Oh man he was right behind us, but I don't think he found out where we…" As soon as she saw Him sitting there, she began to hyperventilate, Blossom calmed her down and explained to her that Him had been here long before she called, after a few minutes, she calmed down and just sat there on one of the chairs.
Him said," So dear little Bubbles, what happened?" Bubbles responds," I'm not sure, I heard Sapphire scream as I ran to her, there was a cut along her arm, I quickly bandaged it up but then I was chased down by what I though was you, what is going on?" Suddenly a loud voice spoke over them," Too bad for you, you're not good at making yourself disappear, you stick out like a sore thumb!" A black cloud of smoke appeared, a figured appeared.
He was similar to Him in size but he wore a long black cape, he had a metallic suit that shimmered, he looked to be around the age of 16 in human, his devilish smile peered through them all, he looked at Him and said," You disappoint me, you were supposed to defeat the Powerpuff girls so I could slaughter the new generation so that I could rule supreme, now I have to kill them all by myself!"
Him burst out laughing as he said," You are going to try to kill all six Powerpuff girls by yourself, your asking for a funeral." He drew his sword from his sheath, unlike Him he had hands and two blades instead of two claws. He smiled at Him and said," Alright I challenge the three girls than, there all here, so which one of you is first!"
Jade stepped up and held her hand out, he smiled and said," I was hoping it would be you first, you were the one I wanted anyway." Jade shouts," And what is that supposed to mean!" He smiles at her and replies," Oh it' quite simple, if I am able to defeat a being who faces me, they belong to me instantly and are mine to do whatever with!"
Buttercup looked to him who was just backing away, she asks," Did you know about that?" Him scratched at his neck and said," there may have been some truth to that, I didn't really care for using that rule though, it is unfair for the non-demons, you see it says that in battle if the demon is victorious the being they fought belongs to them, but if he loses the demon only has to retreat and wait a while before striking again, and he has to be marked every time he fails, you see it is unfair because the demon can keep coming back until he wins that is why I hate the rule and never use it."
The other demon says," and that's why you have no one, it is the only way to get a woman for a demon, I think it's just fair really!" Jade spits at him and says," Just shut up already!" The two glare at each other as he wipes his face off, he says," You deserve the things that will happen when I own you!" She glares a him more vicious this time.
